Welcome

My name is Markus and I was born and grew up in Bavaria (Germany), more precisely in Neumarkt in der Oberpfalz. I really got the travel bug in 2014 with my first long-distance trip to Hawaii. Since then, I can hardly wait to discover new destinations. But I am also passionate about flying and aviation itself. Even though I’ve flown a lot, I enjoy every takeoff as much as the first time.

My favorite way to travel is backpacking, so traveling with a backpack. As I can’t stay in the same place for three days, I am relatively active and like to move on to discover new places and natural beauty. I prefer warmer regions to escape the cold months in Germany. It just can’t be hot enough for me. Backpacking also offers the best opportunity to get to know new, interesting people and, above all, their exciting stories by staying in hostels.

As I’m not a fan of overly long blocks of text, I try to present my previous travel destinations very compactly on this page so that you can understand them quickly. I also record interesting “Facts” that I collect during the trip, before or afterward. Before a trip, I usually find out about the upcoming destination via travel guides, podcasts, YouTube, internet research or reports from other travelers. It’s difficult for me not to have a new destination in mind after a trip. It may sound a bit trite, but: After the journey is before the journey!

First and foremost, I am doing this site out of self-interest to record my experiences and to develop myself further. If it is helpful for anyone else, then I’m all the happier and of course that’s fine by me. I look forward to any kind of contact or feedback and wish you a lot of fun and, above all, a large portion of wanderlust!
